Well after days of rain, wind and cold the weather has changed but just for 8 hours- no rain, some wind and still cold but who cares. We all went for a drive up to Stanhope- Durham Dales Centre and parked up. We went out and did our usual hiking loop over the moors / common. The ground is completely saturated with standing water / ice every where. The wooded section was ankle deep in clarts as per normal during the winter. The river was flowing that high the stepping stones at the ford were covered today. All in 5.40miles in 1hr 54 mins with 580ft of climbing. We called in past the paper shop & the Coop at the end for some goodies and I put the kettle on back at the car. Enjoy and hopefully more soon but not tomorrow as the forecast is for 24 hours solid rain again!
